TOWN OF PAWLING
DUTCHESS COUNTY, NEW YORK

A LOCAL LAW TO CHANGE THE GRIEVANCE DAY FOR ASSESSMENTS
Section 1. Title
This local law shall be known as “A Local Law to Change the Grievance Day for Assessments.”
Section 2. Authority
This local law was adopted pursuant to authority contained in Section 512 of the Real Property Tax Law of the

Section 4. Grievance Day Established
The Town of Pawling hereby adopts as the date for the meetings of the board of assessment review (also known as “Grievance Day”) as the first Wednesday following the fourth Tuesday of May and so many days thereafter as the Board of Assessment Review deems necessary to hear complaints in relation to assessments in the Town of Pawling.
Section 5. Severability.
If any article, paragraph, or provision of this Local Law shall be deemed invalid by any authority of competent jurisdiction, such determination shall apply only to the article, paragraph or provision adjudged invalid, and the rest of this Local Law shall continue as valid, effective and in full force.
